Mr. Qingxia and the others naturally saw this, and the accompanying Chang'an Mansion official stepped forward to take out a road guide to identify themselves.

Mr. Qingxia said: "I am tired from the long journey, and I hope to free up some rooms for the candidates to rest, so that we can arrive at the gentleman's examination room on time and smoothly to live up to the grace of God." ”

Because of the hasty decision of the Junzi Examination, in order to facilitate the rush of students from all over the country, the imperial court ordered to provide post stations for the candidates of the Junzi Examination along the way, and the official mansion provided food and lodging, as long as there were local accompanying officials, there was no need to verify their identities and other conveniences.

Fankou Post Station is the largest post station here, many candidates will pass by, the post station must have received the news a long time ago, sure enough, the post man hesitated when he heard the words, and asked Mr. Qingxia's identity, and learned that it was Mr. Qingxia of Chang'an, the post man was more respectful, and asked everyone to go to the front hall to rest and drink tea, and he hurried in to ask for instructions.

The post station is not an important place such as the official government yamen, and the post is only a small official who does not enter the stream, but the post station is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the post station in a remote place is not as dilapidated as the temple on the side of the road, and the post station at the important pass is also magnificent, comparable to the big restaurant, and the identity and status of the post are also different.

Although the Fankou Post Station is not as good as the Duyi Pavilion in the capital that specializes in entertaining envoys and guests from various countries in the capital, it is also relatively glamorous, and the post is also shiny, and when he heard the post officer's edict and turned around, his flesh trembled.

"The candidates led by Mr. Chang'an Qingxia. He said, looking a little hesitant.

Mr. Qingxia's reputation is not small.

The postman said: "My lord, we still have a hall, although it is not as good as other rooms, it is enough to rest, it is better to invite them in." He added, "The scholars are very weak, and they are all haggard and emaciated when they are hurrying under the big sun, and there are a few old men and children among them, who look like they are about to crumble." ”

Yi Cheng patted his stomach, looked hesitant, and said: "If it were another time, I would naturally not be embarrassed, but you also know the identity of the guests staying now..... He nodded, "I'll go say hi." ”

The post man followed and walked out, watching the post man walk towards the backyard, and he stopped, and the place where he could enter and exit at will in the past could not at this time.

There is a two-story building in the backyard of Fankou Station, which is not as noisy as it used to be, and there are a few tall girls wearing plain white robes and jewels on the sides of their skirts and cuffs, standing on the patio and looking at a few flowers and trees, seemingly curious.

Yi Cheng aggravated his steps and coughed lightly, and those girls looked over, their skin was as bright as snow in the sun, and they couldn't help but avoid their eyes, and sighed in their hearts, he was not a person who had never seen the world, Fankou Post Station was full of people, Xiliang and other countries were good businessmen and officials, and foreign women were too lazy to look at it, but until today, when I saw these women, I knew that there was still a big difference..... heaven and earth.

"Please tell Suotai... Young master, the lower officials have something to discuss. Yi Cheng said calmly and uprightly, but he was not sincerely afraid of these few maids, although he was a small Yi Cheng, he also represented the dignity of Da Zhou at this time.

Several women glanced at each other, and two of them went upstairs with a grin, and after a while, they heard the sound of footsteps upstairs and the crisp male voice.

"Lord Yicheng, please tell me something. ”

Yi Cheng looked up and saw a white-robed young man leaning on the railing, his complexion was as fair as those girls, and his big eyes were smiling.

Yi Cheng hurriedly returned the salute and went upstairs, and said, "I'm sorry, I have something to ask Young Master Suo." ”

The white-robed young man was a little displeased and said: "My lord is too polite, just treat me as a student of your country, and your identity will be revealed." ”

Yi Cheng looked at the beautiful maids standing beside him, and then thought of those gorgeous carriages and horses, thinking that it would be strange if your identity was not revealed, and not to entangle with these young people who were full of strange thoughts, Shi Li responded, and said: "That's the case, there are some candidates who are also participating in the gentleman's examination outside, and they want to stay overnight, and there are a lot of them, I don't know if it will disturb you, Young Master Suo, ......."

Before he finished his words, the white-robed young man's eyes lit up, and he said, "Candidate, gentleman try!" While stepping forward, he shook hands excitedly, "This is about to happen? ”

Yi Cheng is embarrassed, this Prince Suo is really....obsessed with competing with the students of the Great Zhou, no wonder he would do something to hide from the King of Xiliang to leave the royal court and come to the Great Zhou to participate in the imperial examination, and the King of Xiliang also had a headache..... causing trouble for the two countries.

Suo Shengxuan was already a little impatient, and said, "Please come in....I'll take a look." "Don't tell them who I am...", he walked downstairs, took a few steps and stopped, "I forgot..."

What forgot?

Suo Shengxuan turned his head to look at the maidservant, and said with his eyebrows flying: "Go and tell Qi Niang to come and see." ”

Qi Niang? Is this Prince Suo's concubine? Yi Cheng said in his heart, seeing a maid walking towards the building with a smile, Suo Shengxuan did not take another step, held on to the railing and staggered, and smiled at Yi Cheng: "Wait a minute." ”

It's no problem to wait for two times, Yi Cheng smiled and lowered his hand, the waiting time is a little long, there are obviously only a few steps in the house, does that concubine still have to change her clothes and dress up....Look at this Suo Shengxuan smiled and looked at the flowers and trees downstairs without the slightest impatience, this concubine's status is not ordinary, Yi Cheng said in his heart, thinking about the sound of footsteps, but only the maid from before came, and there was no woman behind him.

Suo Shengxuan hurriedly looked at the maidservant and said, "How is it?

The maid smiled, approached Suo Shengxuan and whispered in his ear..... no need to whisper, he couldn't understand Xiliang dialect, Yi Cheng smiled and didn't twist his head in displeasure, the demeanor of a big country, don't worry about the guests, I heard Suo Shengxuan babble and said a word to the maid.

Yi Cheng looked over and saw Suo Shengxuan's expression of surprise, as if he had heard something incredible, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and when he noticed Yi Cheng's gaze, he immediately smiled again.

Yi Cheng smiled at him as well.

Suo Shengxuan didn't take any further steps, coughed lightly, looked a little apologetic, and said, "My lord, I suddenly thought of something, and I was very embarrassed. ”

Yi Cheng said: "Young Master Suo, but it doesn't hurt to say....Your Majesty has ordered all the preferential treatment to facilitate the candidates." ”

Suo Shengxuan said: "The horses I bring are all my Xiliang good horses, and I don't live in the stable every day, but live in the house like a person." ”

What does it mean to be surprised?

Suo Shengxuan said: "I don't know if there is a room to accommodate my ten horses?"

…….

"Horses want to live in people's houses!"

The postman glared.

"I've never seen it before. ”

Yi Cheng frowned and said: "These rich and powerful people have a lot of strange hobbies..... not to mention the prince of a country. ”

The postman said, "Is that really what he said? "It's just a dozen horses," "What about Mr. Qingxia and the others who are waiting to move in outside?"

Yi Cheng's eyebrows condensed into a Sichuan character, and said: "Prince Nasuo sighed for a long time, worried that the horses were not taken care of, which would affect their itinerary, and they would not be able to catch up with the exam at that time, although it was a pity to miss the gentleman's exam, but I was even more worried that Xiliang would be considered arrogant and rude, which would be a big deal..... this is a threat." ”

Prince Xiliang made an accident, and he was only afraid that if he was an unlucky scapegoat....after all, he was a foreigner, so his own words.....

"Just aggrieved Mr. Qingxia and others to settle outside the post station, let the kitchen cook hot rice and soup, and take more bedding and mats....In the summer, I am not afraid of cold in the wild, just cool. Yi Cheng said, "I will personally go to make amends to Mr. Qingxia." ”

After listening to Yicheng's words, the candidates were naturally very dissatisfied, even if it was not cold in summer, they did not live comfortably indoors, Yicheng apologized again and again, and the hot soup dishes were also sent to the kitchen, and a long table was placed outside the post station, and bowls and plates of good dishes and meat were served....expressed full sincerity and apologies.

Mr. Qingxia said: "It's not his fault, there is no room, it is not a blessing to go out, the road is difficult, everyone has to adapt." ”

The candidates responded yes, tired and hungry and had no strength to make trouble, and the post man breathed a sigh of relief and thanked the people to prepare the floor, and the people here sat outside the post station to eat in the open air.

"But there is a place for the horses, and they are sent to the stables to be served. A postman said enthusiastically.

Mr. Qingxia looked up: "Who should be on duty this time?"

The carriage and horses are taken care of by the coachman, but there will be three students to help each time, Mr. Qingxia's arrangement is to let everyone be more familiar with the horses and other things to be able to walk freely in the future, Xue Qingliu Chunyang and a young man stood up..... it's her turn, treat them equally, Mr. Qingxia nodded, and the two watched the coachman unload the carriage and follow the horse to the stable behind the post station.

…..

The backyard became lively because of the arrival of the horses, and it didn't help to ask the students to help, Liu Chunyang squatted on a stone bench under the shade of the backyard and pulled the leaves, bored to watch the coachmen busy, and suddenly heard Xue Qing say: "It's not right." ”

Liu Chunyang looked at her and said, "What's wrong?" looked around with some fear, are there any monsters?

Xue Qing looked at the stables that were full of their horses, and said, "The post station is full of people, why don't you see horses?"
